Construction of the new city began, but Chen Xin did not stay on the construction site this time.

For him, although he was the one who promoted the construction of the new city, this matter did not require him to keep an eye on the construction site.

After all, his job is to develop new products that can improve the current situation and contribute to national construction, rather than just staring at a certain construction site.

Although Chen Xin's main job these days is indeed designing a dome city, this does not mean that he has no other jobs.

The improvement and upgrading of the weather controller has encountered some obstacles. With the technology currently possessed by the country, it is already the limit that technology cannot reach to further improve it.

Although the researchers brought by Chen Xin in Lucia were involved, and the country also dispatched outstanding scientific researchers and experts in related fields, the improvements that can be made with existing technology have already been made in Lucia. It was completed by these researchers and Chen Xin.

If you want to continue to improve the weather controller, for scientific researchers, it is only possible to make new breakthroughs in the existing scientific and technological fields.

After all, all the improvements that can be made have been made. If you want to make new improvements, you can only break the existing routine and make breakthroughs.

But making a breakthrough is not easy!

Reality is not a game. In the game, if you click to upgrade, it may be over in an instant. At worst, it is just a matter of running through the progress bar.

But in reality, if technology wants to make a breakthrough, it may take more than ten years or even decades.

A breakthrough in a certain field may be preceded by qualitative changes brought about by decades of technological accumulation in other related fields.

Similarly, if a certain research fails to achieve a breakthrough, it may also be because there is insufficient technology accumulation in other related fields.

This is especially obvious in high-tech technical fields. If the accumulation of basic science is not enough, it will be difficult to make research results and breakthroughs.

To give the simplest example, in an experiment, the accuracy of the existing experimental equipment did not meet the requirements, causing the experiment to continue to fail. However, another research institution had higher-precision experimental equipment, and they were able to succeed in the experiment the first time.

What causes such a difference is just the accuracy of the experimental equipment when it is produced.

In fact, this is a very profound lesson and experience for Yan Guo.

Yanguo's industrial strength is now very strong, and various fields of science and technology have caught up. However, in the 1990s when Chen Xin was a child and in the early years of the 21st century, Yanguo did not have such strong industrial strength as it does now.

At that time, Yanguo was already developing a new type of fighter jet independently, but it was stuck in the aero-engine. Although it was not impossible to build one, the products it produced were not as good and durable as foreign countries.

Although this has deep historical reasons, my country's technology accumulation in the field of aerospace engines was weak at that time and it lacked experience in independent research and development.

But the more fundamental reason is that at that time, Western countries had nearly a century of aviation manufacturing and more than two hundred years of industrial accumulation. They were too far ahead of us in this regard.

If we want to catch up with them, we must go through the technical routes and accumulated things that they have spent hundreds of years on in a shorter period of time.

Although we have indeed gradually caught up thanks to the unremitting efforts of the previous generation, how much effort has been spent and how many researchers have devoted their lives to this is an unspeakable number.

Therefore, making a breakthrough in weather controller is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

The scientific researchers responsible for studying the weather controller naturally understand this, and they are also prepared to fight for a long time.

After all, there has never been a saying in scientific research that we are afraid of not doing it because we cannot make breakthroughs in a short time. If we just don’t do research because we see no hope in the short term, then human science and technology will not be able to make the progress it has today.

Of course, if external forces intervene, the breakthrough will be rapid.

For example, the upgrade system on Chen Novice can directly break bottlenecks and barriers and directly make technology leap forward.

Of course Chen Xin also wanted to do this. After all, he proposed this plan and he has always been in charge of the project. According to his plan, the weather controller will continue to be upgraded.

However, the country's top officials, perhaps out of technical accumulation considerations, did not allow Chen Xin to continue upgrading the weather controller on the mobile base.

Not only that, the country is also building another weather controller based on the technical data obtained from the weather controller on the mobile base.

Chen Xin felt a little helpless about this, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

This is actually the same situation that Yan Guo faced in the 1980s and 1990s. It was better to buy foreign technology or conduct technology research and development on its own.

In this regard, Yan Guo has suffered losses more than once. Naturally, he believes in taking one step at a time and taking the path he has taken. It is reasonable to be unwilling to upgrade directly, but hopes that his own scientific researchers will make breakthroughs.

What's more, the researchers have not yet completely analyzed the technological improvements brought about by the several upgrades to the weather controller that Chen Xin made when he was in Lucia, and now they are throwing in new technologies from a certain place. In this sense, it is not a good thing.

Of course, the country has not left an obviously cheating guy like Chen Xin idle. Recently, in addition to the design and construction of the dome city, he also has many projects sent by other research institutions that require assistance.

These projects are the kind of things where technology has made breakthroughs and finished products have been produced, but technical verification and testing improvements are still needed.

It is much more efficient to send these to Chen Xin, upgrade and perfect them and then go back and reverse analyze them than they spend a lot of time on testing and making little improvements.

Originally, this was Chen Xin's job. However, in order to allow Chen Xin to create more new things and use his creative abilities, the country made some adjustments so that there were not so many projects sent to Chen Xin for upgrading. .

And this has indeed achieved good results. Products such as Titan and Airbag Ark are both very satisfying to the country.

Now the country does not allow Chen Xin to completely switch back to upgrading for others. This is mainly because he stayed in Lucia for half a year and accumulated many domestic projects.

Now that Chen Xin is back, naturally these projects have been sent to his desk and need to be handled by him.

In fact, after Chen Xin returned to the research center, he spent most of his working time on this, and he still found time to do the design plan of the dome city.
